You need to tell the find command where to start searching:

find / -name AppsLocalLogin.jsp -exec -ll +

Hi

sorry to not write the full command i am "find / -name AppsLocalLogin.jsp -exec -ll +"

this command is not work
thanks

Well then you are going to have to define "not work". Do you get an error message? Do you get your command prompt back?

If you get no error message and your command prompt returns, then the file is not found. Try searching for a more generic version of the name, like "Apps*", or "[Aa]pps.[Ll]ocal[Ll]ogin.*", for example.

You are missing the curly braces

# find / -name "AppsLocalLogin.jsp" -exec ll {} +

[Sandman!]

You are missing curly braces and see if replacing + with \; makes a difference

# find / -name AppsLocalLogin.jsp -exec ll {} +
or
# find / -name AppsLocalLogin.jsp -exec ll {} \;

You can use the "+" command instead of curly braces, but it needs to be escape, so it should be "-exec ll \+".

Example:

#touch /home/plr/file_to_find
# find /home -name file_to_find -exec -ll \+
# find /home -name file_to_find -exec ll \+
-rw-rw-r-- 1 plr support 0 Nov 8 07:27 /home/plr/file_to_find

While required by UNIX2003, {} isn't required by HP-UX. Using \; is only needed on non-supported HP-UX pre-11.00 versions.

>Pete: but it (+) needs to be escape,

No it does not. I've asked the man page be changed the last time this was brought up.
